Mystery Man in Anna Nicole's Hospital Room

TMZ knows the identity of the "mystery person" who was in the hospital room the day Anna Nicole Smith's son Daniel died. It's G. Ben Thompson.

He's the dude with whom Anna Nicole had a brief affair -- the same man Anna tried to trick into believing Dannielynn was his baby. Anna's scheme was torpedoed when Thompson informed her he had a vasectomy two years earlier.

Thompson says he still owns Horizons, the home Anna and Howard lived in when they moved to the Bahamas. Ultimately, Thompson tried to evict Anna and Howard, claiming they were squatters. Howard still lives there.

16. What a coincidence that this comes out now when Rita's book just came out. Some how I think Mr. Stern would of let us all know about this before if it was true!!

18. OMG this is NOT breaking news- rita took informatino from anyone who would talk to her. These thompson boys already said they were in the room and guess what they too are in trouble with the law - thugs and thiefs. Rita ruined your career for these thugs. Ha ha haha ha toooooo funny. Maybe Rita you should give witnesses sodium penthathal (spelling) before you write your next tall tale book. OMG Rita your a loser.

Posted at 12:39PM on Sep 4th 2007 by Oh come on we all knew it was thompson and he is in trouble too

19. Anna Nicole exchanged sex for certain favors. This rich dude confused that fact with friendhip. Or didn't care one way or the other..

20. If you would go outto ArtHarris.com you could see the court docs where G Ben drops his claim to ownership to The Bahamas home.

Read it for yourself.

21. Ben bought the house in his own name then did a quit claim deed to ANS. By doing so, that type of deed has the least security but is the fastest way to acquire the property. Perhaps Ben did this so fast he didn't consult with his attorneys until after this was done. There should be no reason he didn't understand what he was doing as, he buys and sells property all the time. The fact is: ANS legally owned the house when she died and it's now part of her estate. Until the estate is settled (which will take years) Ben won't be getting the house anytime soon. I think he must have made this foolish move because he did care for ANS and wanted to help her. ANS (I think) honestly believed she could stay there long term w/o making payments to Ben. The fact is: Ben should have had ALL the details to the purchase of Horizons and lease or lease to buy payments leagally drafted and signed by ANS BEFORE she moved in. It seems, he didn't do that out of the kindness of his heart. Foolish move for such expensive real estate.
There's no way I believe Ben had any involvement with Daniel's death. BTW: what is going on with the inquest??? I haven't heard a thing.

23. Looks like the framing of GBT is underway. Art Harris (paid stern shill) reports that the CH is in GBT's name, and now tmz with this.

Howie's plan F.

What I want to know, is why people continue to protect this psychopath? How much money does this $12,000 a year lawyer actually have hidden offshore? Why does it matter so much that this a**hole NOT go to prison for Daniel's death?

I hope the authorities in Kentucky pick his sorry ass up in the airport and take him straight to the federal building downtown.

His supporters will be the big end losers. you see they too are tricked by dollar signs.
They ANTICIPATE howard getting this money and they want to be rubbing shoulders with someone with money..............GOD HAS SOMETHING ELSE IN STORE MAYBE?

I have a feeling there are going to be a lot of loose turned out pockets at the end of the day.

29. Excerpt from book (Crime Library post)

Per Moe, p. 166-67 "Larry gave Anna ecstacy and cocaine"

Larry testified before Bahamian police officials late January before ANS died. Larry made shocking allegations - this was witnessed by Mark Speer, LA county sheriff's deputy who was doing security for LB October to March. Larry provided details of money funneling, drug use - HKS sending 15 K every other week to his parents in offshore accounts - several million all told
Also Larry told police trimspa was a joke and that Goen knew it. Goen per Larry supplied the human growth horman
Per Mark Speer Larry said he was there when Goen brought the stuff
Larry had a needle with liquid in it that he thought would bring Goen down and that would have fingerprints and ANS DNA on it - he had a plan to bring Trim Spa down. Mark Speer asked why Larry didn't do anything with the evidence said he thought LB was bought off. :O
